Azorius Artifacts by GJW568

Format: Commander

Commander: Mendicant Core, Guidelight

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

An Azorius artifact-token deck built around Mendicant Core, Guidelight. The primary plan is to flood the board with cheap artifacts and Thopter/Construct/Pilot tokens, use affinity and cost reducers to chain draws, then finish with mass pump effects or Cyberdrive Awakener. Mendicant is a copy engine at max speed, duplicating the best artifact spell each turn-Thought Monitor, Guidelight Pathmaker, Perilous Snare, or Kappa Cannoneer. Shorikai, Sai, and Thopter Spy Network provide depth; Tempered Steel and Master of Etherium convert artifact count into damage. A small interaction suite protects the board. There is no hidden commander; the list is a fair midrange artifact deck with an alternate Mechanized Production win.
